All of my life I’ve been introverted,
Quiet, reserved, it can be asserted,
But a moment ago, that was inverted,
With a few simple words that I just blurted.
“This year I’ll be cool” - I thought I’d assured it,
All freshly pressed pants and button-up shirted.
I said with a gusto, (not a bit disconcerted)
“A nerd up till now, but this year I skirt it!”
When the bell rang, to class we all herded,
The playground and hallways were quickly deserted,
We sat in our groups, the way we preferred it,
Up to this point: embarrassment averted
Our teacher for writing was Mr. McDurtit,
From his mouth questions were frequently spurted,
During his lecture, this one was worded:
“In my sentence, where’s my full stop asserted?”
A soon as I said it, I wished to reword it,
Outside of my head, it sounded perverted,
But there’s nothing to do, everyone heard it:
“I’ll tell you where, in your end it’s inserted!”
